Chinna, a 14-year old with aspirations of being an actor, accompanies his father, Murugan to work. Murugan happens to be a shaman who travels across villages to interact with locals and perform rituals for them, all for a price. Chinna, having a disdain for his father’s profession, reluctantly tags along as the duo travel to a village with the hopes of striking gold. Little do they know what’s waiting in store for them.
